And your proof of this statement: [ Republicans keep blocking extending benefits because it's not payed for...even though it doesn't seem to bother
them when it comes to WAR SPENDING or CORPORATE TAX CUTS. is found Where?
What I found: [The House passed a $106 billion spending bill on Tuesday that will help finance the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, overcoming almost
universal opposition from Republicans.
The measure passed 226-202, with only five Republicans voting for it. (One of those five was Representative John McHugh, President Obama’s choice to
be Secretary of the Army.)
House Republicans had been very supportive of the spending bill, but balked at a provision in the latest version that would give billions to the
International Monetary Fund. The version passed by the House today also shelved a ban on releasing photos documenting abuse of foreign prisoners by
American soldiers, a move also decried by Republicans.] end quote from the:

Google is your friend, try it.
[quote seeing as Republicans keep blocking extending benefits. end of quote] try google and get some facts. From: Congress Fails to Pass an Extension
of Jobless Aid. [ The Senate Republican leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, has insisted that the bill not add to the deficit. Democrats argued that
they had found ways to cover the entire cost of the $112 billion measure, with the exception of the $35.5 billion extension of unemployment benefits,
which some Republicans said they could accept.
But some Republicans who had been negotiating with Mr. Reid said they remained opposed to tax increases in the bill, and Mr. McConnell insisted that
Republicans would not support any increase in the deficit.] end quote.

Now that you've failed to derail the thread with worthless attacks that Republicans control the purse strings in D. C. I think you'll find they
don't believe the tax payer needs to extra burden of supporting you.
I read nothing anywhere about CORPORATE TAX CUTS.
